I just purchased two "new" Trojan T-105 Plus batteries for my TT. They were actually shipped from the factory 5 months ago. I contacted Trojan to see if this would be a problem since they had sat unused for a while and was told there was no problem with them sitting as long as the voltages were good at 6.20V or higher. Voltage before charging on each was 6.15 & 6.16. I contacted Trojan again to see if this was a problem and was told "These voltages indicate that the batteries have self discharged below the 70% state-of-charge point but can be charged up no problem so the decision was mine whether or not to keep them."

Most battery warranties start with the receipt date; without the receipt, the stamped date on the batteries is the start date--keep the receipt. I would not worry one bit about a 5-month-old mfg date.

Thanks for the info! Looking forward to our first dry camp with them next week.

What do you guys think, am I worrying over nothing?

No problem at all. Just charge them up and way you go. I also have 2 x T105's . They are amazing batteries. Enjoy and don't worry.
